Davelis Cave

Davelis Cave, also known as the Cave of Penteli, is a cave on the southwestern slope of Mount Penteli, northeast of Athens. It received its modern nickname, "the cave of Davelis", because of a popular association with the 19th-century brigand Christos Davelis. The cave is situated in an ancient quarry, known as the Spilia quarry, at an elevation of c. 700 m. above sea level. This quarry produced the Pentelic marble used in the Parthenon and other buildings of classical Athens, and the quarried rock faces still preserve the marks of chisels and wedges. An ancient paved path along which the quarried blocks were dragged on sledges to the bottom of the slope is also partly preserved.
